best scent hounds ?

what do u all think is the best breed of scent hound for yote hunting. i have blueticks and walker blue crosses witch i used for coon hunting. i hear alot of people like plots redbone b and ts what is some of the done falls with each breed if any when it comes to yote hunting thanks .

Depends on how u hunt and what type of ground you are hunting. Everyone has a diffrent opion on this. The guys that hunt open flat ground use stags and walker running hounds crossed with july running hounds. A lot of guys that hunt thick country use walker running dogs crossed with some tree dog. I have seen both do excellent jobs on coyotes and it pretty much comes down to what the guys you are hunting with have for hounds. Just my ideas and opion.

I have seen a few dogs that I would consider 'Super Cold Nosed dogs'. I mean they did some things that made you wonder. I've seen a dog strike a 5 day old lion track in some shade and try to move out on it. Never gonna get anything that old caught, but the fact he smelled it, was pretty awesome. Seen a few others too that were very impressive.

I wouldn't know what "Breed" to call these dogs... but they were all hound, and damn good ones.

Funny thing is with those colder nosed dogs, the "Super Cold Nose", usually comes with "Super Cold Trail Desire". These dogs would not only smell the old track... the would have a great desire to run the track. You would have to see it to understand, but when 3 or 4 of your dogs check a scrape or a track and really check it, then move on... Well you know they smelled it, and here comes old Ace but, he not only smells it, he throws his head in the air and strikes it... then takes off hell bent to catch... Well those are the dogs I'm looking for. Way to much dog for a wanna be like me, but I love em!

it goes back to what everyone said, its what your looking for... to me a good "track dog" is a smart dog, i don't want my dog to open up on a track thats super old cause as stated hes NOT going to catch it more than likely, now true if he ran that yote for 3 days straight he'd get close.. but lets be for real with ourselves, most of us work longer than that... so me i want my dogs to pick up a track that is fairly new and PUSH AND PUSH AND PUSH... wether its fox/yote/or a rabbit, i don't like cold nose dogs far as those sports go, but when it comes to coon hunting i like a dog to run a fairly old reasonable tracks... but i like potlickers from what i've ben seein far as the running hound world.. i like walker/july mix overall.. but i've only ben fox hunting for maybe 2 months at most, but far as rabbit/coon/cat/bear hunting for the last eight years..................
